Zach Cregger's 'Weapons' Dares to Examine Unkempt Suburban Traumas

Things are getting Barbaric on this week’s episode of The Cinematic Schematic. A group of the whitest kids you know (plus Laron Chapman) is here to review Zach Cregger‘s Weapons. The hotly anticipated horror follow-up to the director’s smash-hit debut, Barbarian, has arrived, and audiences and critics have been blown away.



Cregger’s sophomore outing follows the story of a suburban Midwest town traumatized by the disappearance of an entire classroom full of children. All but one child in Justine Gandy’s(Julia Garner) classroom left their homes at exactly 2:17 a.m. in the middle of the night, with no sign of where they went or why.



What evil lies beneath the surface of Maybrook, PA? What’s the hidden meaning behind the title?



Check out our review and analysis to discover our take.
